January 28, 200323 yr I am having fun lately flying Carenado's Piper Dakota. Where can I find performance data? Takeoff, landing, climb, cruise power settings, fuel use, etc.?
January 29, 200323 yr Hi,i've recived some time ago from Carenado this power settings chartregardsEricson
January 29, 200323 yr Thanks, Ericson! Actually, I do have this chart already and have been using it on all my flights. Unfortunately it does not include fuel consumption, but I have averaged fuel use over a number of flights and have a fairly good idea--between about 11 gph on 65% settings and 14 gph at 75%, with variations for altitude. However these are averaged over entire flights of 1-3 hours. I have yet to break them down into climb and cruise portions. I will do some more tests this weekend if I'm not too busy flying the Swift! Still looking for data on takeoff, landings and climb performance. Thanks again.Ray
